About this map

Agricultural development within the Sacramento Valley defines this portion of the Central Valley, where a complex network of irrigation channels supports the local economy. The massive Glenn-Colusa Canal and the Provident Main Canal bisect the landscape, feeding the gridded fields that dominate the territory between the rural settlements of Bayliss and Glenn.

Along the eastern edge, the Sacramento River meanders past Hartley Island, creating a sharp contrast between the riparian corridor and the highly managed farmland to the west. Local road names like Pear Ave, Gum Ave, and Walnut Ln reflect the region's orchard heritage. This map provides a clear look at the modern water management infrastructure, including the Quint Canal and Shepard Slough, that has transformed this riverfront area into a productive agricultural hub.
